Raid history:
From ICC through Siege of Orgrimmar, our guild raided 25 man heroic. This was when Heroic was the highest difficulty. When the new normal/heroic/mythic system was launched mid-siege we remained at the heroic level and did not pursue mythic raiding.

In WoD, we maintained heroic raiding with a flexible roster which suited me fine since I had just relocated across the country and needed more IRL time than wow time.

With Legion launch, I raided with that same guild through Emerald Nightmare and then went my own way to raid Mythic Trial of Valor and Nighthold. I tanked these raids as a Guardian Druid earning Cutting Edge in both.

During Tomb progression, I needed to focus a bit more on my job at the time and bowed out from raiding after Mistress progression. I took 4 months off and came back to the game simply to finish the mage tower challenges on all the 110 characters I had. I ended up really liking BDK and found a raid near the end of the expansion where I tanked all but Agg and Arg on mythic.

With the removal of tier sets in BfA, I saw no motivation to raid, since my primary focus has been mythic plus since its release in legion. Because tier sets and some raid trinkets were pivotal to m+ progression in legion, I felt I had to raid in order to maintain some competitive edge. Even now, without raiding I can see where not having a specific trinket or trait puts me just a bit behind and I don’t like it.

Since my new schedule will put me home after everyone in my house goes to bed, I’m looking to have a lot of free time in those late hours.
